Portia's father, even though he is dead, has power over his daughter's choice of husband 'the will of a living daughter is curbe

Answer:

In Shakespeare's time a father would have every right to influence Portia's marriage. Marriages were often brokered deals between two families. In today's secular Western society women are given much more power over their own destinies. That sort of respect for women is a good thing.

How do paragraphs 64-78 contribute to the<br> meaning of the story? Snow White <br> Asappp
harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

The dwarfs are distraught by Snow White’s death, and lay her to rest in a glass coffin. But then a prince comes by (for some unspecified reason) and is captivated by the dead girl’s beauty as she lies in the glass coffin (a detail bordering on the morbid, but we’ll gloss over that). He begs the dwarfs to let him take the coffin with him (a detail it’s harder to gloss over), and they reluctantly agree. Which is just as well, since as soon as the prince picks up the coffin, the piece of poisoned apple falls from Snow White’s mouth and she is revived. The prince asks her if she will marry him, and she says yes. The wicked stepmother learns that a new queen is getting married (thanks to that perennial blabbermouth, her magical looking-glass), and goes to the wedding to see this new queen. When she sees that it is Snow White, back from the dead, she is so consumed with rage that she falls down dead. And that’s the end of the wicked stepmother, and the end of the story of Snow White, who lives happily ever after with the prince.

The boy in the striped pajamas chapter 7 summary?
almond37 [142]

Answer:

see explanation

Explanation:

The summary for The Boy in the Striped Pajamas goes as follows:

After spending a few weeks at OutWith, Bruno began looking for a new way of speaking. He wanted to avoid being absorbed in it, as he was walking around crying with his head in his head like one of his old neighbors in Berlin, Mr. Laura. Bruno once recalled that his mother warned him not to make fun of Mr. Laura. He suffered a head injury during World War I, and his mother claimed that Bruno didn't know what the young man was until then.

Bruno hasn't thought much about Mr. Laura in the last few years, but when the man had a headache, Bruno realized he had to be a little distracted. He decided to hang a tire swing on an old oak tree. Bruno collected pitches from the basement and brought them  to the tree. Then he looked for a tire. BN's

Graphic Novel: Macbeth  Bruno went to talk to one of the soldiers because neither his mother nor his father was at home. He met Lieutenant Kotler, a young soldier he saw at home the day his family arrived. Kotler was always dressed neatly and  had impressive muscular arms, but he wore too many colognes. To make matters worse, Gretel was in the habit of  laughing at everything he said he was flirting with him. Gretel was talking to Lieutenant Kotler when Bruno came to him and asked for a spare tire for his swing. The soldier patronized Bruno and then Pavel, a lean old man. Pavel came home every day, peeled the  vegetables and served dinner.  Kotler barked at Pavel and repeatedly called him a name that Bruno couldn't understand. In a voice that offended both Bruno and Gretel, the soldier ordered Pavel to remove Bruno's tires from the vault.

Later that day, Bruno tried a new tire swing. When Bruno tried to raise himself, he lost his foothold and fell, hitting his head and scratching his leg. Pavel appeared and carried the boy to the kitchen, where he got a first aid kit and groomed Bruno's wounds. Bruno was worried that he would die from an injury, but Pavel insisted that he was okay. When Bruno asked him how he knew, Pavel said he was a doctor before. Pavel's revelation confused Bruno, who didn't understand how his servants would become doctors.

Best of luck to you!
